So I guess I got lucky?

Hi George

Zero-5 was the last complete STe/Falcon game I wrote. I used to be very good at starting games and not finishing them(!)

It was a very hard year (working in the day, writing the game at night) - Was kind-a-like a pinnicle for me in respect to learning STe internals and squeezing what performance I could out of the thing. I dread to think the number of assember code lines ... Bound to be 100s of 1000s. Anyway, after the publication of Zero-5, very poor sales and the arrival of my first child ... It was time to call it day on the ST game writing front.

I have a chest full of source disks and software in the loft. Alas, my Falcon030 hd has given up the ghost. Rather depressing as I no longer have a running version Zero-5. Thus ... I can't easily get software to you.

If you can help me out and point in the right direction of a decent PC based ST emulator, rom images etc, I might be able to sort something out - No promises, the disks in the chest (1000's of em!) are well over 10 years old now.

d-Rez was shareware at the time (I think I did a demo program as well). Once again, I'll send d-Rez stuff to you if I can access files etc from my PC with suitable emulator. I've tried some emulators in the past and not had much luck.

I work in IT senior management now. I still do a little game development on the side (hobby thing). Mainly PC based (Directx etc). Co-incidentally, I used the "d-Rez" name for a recent DirectX game I almost finished(!). Brandygames is in recess at the moment )

I invited him to join the forum, plus gave him a few hints on emulation . Awaiting for 2nd reply now...
